| As we have developed oil and gas properties
in Oklahoma, Marjo has taken on roles outside of
the oil and gas industry. We have become
actively involved in farming and ranching as
part of our respect for agriculture, and we have
contributed to the communities that have
encouraged our growth. Below are some
highlights of what we do outside of our original
business.
MMK Properties, LLC
Cattle Ranch
MMK Properties originated from Marjo's
acquisition of 320 acres of range land in
Lincoln County, OK in the summer of 2003.
Shortly after obtaining this land, Marjo
purchased approximately thirty head of cattle to
run on the properties. Marjo has continually
made improvements to the land through the
clearing of unwanted timber and brush, new fence
construction, and new pond construction. MMK,
an LLC owned by Marjo's principals, is now the
managing entity of our cattle ranch, which has
grown to approximately 1,000 acres of maintained
range on which we run approximately 50 head of
cattle. MMK has planted Bermudagrass on
approximately 200 acres of the ranch, while
leaving the rest in productive native grasses.
Another 200 acres of the ranch is utilized
annually for hay production.
Wheat Farm
Since 2006, Marjo has also
acquired 320 acres of land in Kay County, OK,
which is utilized for wheat production.
This land is custom farmed for us by Bob Diemer,
who possesses decades of experience with farming
in this area and has achieved maximum
performance from his own farming operation.
Community Activities
Marjo is also proud to support the
communities that have allowed us to grow. Marjo
has made general monetary donations to
Perkins-Tryon Public Schools, Carney Public
Schools, the Carney Volunteer Fire Department,
and the Perkins Thomas-Wilhite Memorial
Library. In 2006, Marjo assisted the City
of Carney in building a senior citizens' center. Marjo
has also assisted the Carney
Betterment Association in constructing an
eight-man football field for Carney High
School.
